No. 6 Ohio State defeats No. 11 Missouri State, 63-56, in the NCAA Tournament

The Ohio State Buckeyes ended February with a bang, winning a share of the B1G regular season title. March has been a different story. With cold shooting and stiffer competition, Ohio State had an early exit from the B1G Tournament before entering the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed. Saturday, the Buckeyes returned to action in the first round of the tourney against the Missouri State Bears of the Missouri Valley Conference.

Even with a day of bad shooting, the Buckeyes defensive press, timely comebacks and big plays by Jacy Sheldon and Tanaya Beacham pulled Ohio State through.
